Trump Blames ‘Freedom of Expression’ For Al Qaeda Bomb Manuals

Speaking on Fox Monday morning, Donald Trump again betrayed his ignorance of freedom of speech, stating that the reason magazines like the ones Al Qaeda issues with instructions on how to make bombs exist was “freedom of the press” and “freedom of expression.”

Trump bloviated:

I see the other day, and they’re all talking about it so wonderfully, because, you know, it’s called freedom of the press, where you buy magazines and they tell you how to make those same bombs that I saw. Right? I would. Now people will go crazy, they’ll say, “Oh, Trump is against freedom of the press.” I’m not against. I’m totally in favor of freedom of the press. But how do you allow magazines to be sold? These are magazines that tell you from step 1, go to the store and buy such and such. Right? Simple, simple stuff. And it’s devastating. You look at that with the nails inside, they’ll tell you about the nails, what kind of nails to buy. What kind of, what manufacturer to buy. They’ll tell you how to make bombs. We should arrest the people who do that because they’re participating in crime. We should arrest them. Instead they say. “Oh, no, you can’t do anything. That’s freedom of expression.”
